ARISS is an international educational outreach program
with US participation from NASA, AMSAT (The Amateur
Satellite Radio Corp.), and the American Radio Relay
League. ARISS offers an opportunity for students to
experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking
directly with crewmembers on-board the International Space
Station. Teachers, parents and communities experience,
first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can
energize youngsters' interest in science, technology, and
learning. Further information on the ARISS programme is
available on the website http://www.rac.ca/ariss.
